Pile capacity determination is very difficult. A large number of different equations are used, and seldom will any two give the same computed capacity. Organizations which have been using a particular equation tend to stick to it especially when successful data base has been established. This book rated some formulae for estimating the load carrying capacity of piles using reliability analysis concept;examined the various predictions of load carrying capacity of piles;assessed the uncertainties of properties of soils, pile materials and the loads that must be resisted.Using the principles of...
